A week in pictures #Handmade Monday

This week I attended the 'Tower Barzaar' at The Engineshed, Lincoln University. This is something I have had a hand in organising. Lincoln was in need of a decent handmade and vintage fair, and this proved to be the ideal location. The first one started in January and was great, the second was on Saturday, but unfortunately footfall was down, mainly due to the weather I feel. The poor swans out on the Brayford were actually bashing through the iced up water to get to their safe haven on the steps! Here are some of the lovely stalls who attended:

The next one will be on Saturday 3rd March. They are every 1st Saturday of the month.

I have also begun to make the half choke chain Martingale dog collars, after a special request, I decided to order extra chains to offer these permanently. Only two uploaded to the site so far, but for an idea this is how they look! They are suitable for dog's who are that little bit stronger but still want to look fashionable :)

Oh that is so annoying when all your hard work is foiled by the weather but at least the stall holders will understand that. It looks as though your stall holders are of really high quality, just wish I was nearer :)

You're welcome!Yes, I've tried to be quite strict with the stallholders, although having said that there is always one that's not upto standard or not handmade that sneaks in somehow! Would have loved to have had you on board if you lived closer :)

It certainly looks well organised, all the stalls are full and tidy etc., What a shame we can't predict weather 6 months in advance. Also as Caroline has mentioned, these two or three months are usually lean ones anyway. Don't let it put you off organising more, looks you have a knack there.

Oh, that was fun! I loved the photos, especially Harry. But when I saw his picture, it made me think of a story from my childhood called "Harry the Dirty Dog". Have you ever heard of it? You should look it up, it was a very cute book. :)

Thank you for the lovely comments :')Kayleigh - it is on the 1st Saturday of every month 10-5, although we did pack up at 4pm this last one as was so quiet :(Wendy - thank you, it's a vistaprint jobby. I upload my logo to my cards and marketing material.Jo- This particular collar is very popular, I think it is because it is quite unisex, let your sister know it is also available as a normal adjustable one too :0)

Susie- I shall have a look for that book! Thank you!Ali- Harry has got used to been my model now, he is such a poser! Think he looks forward to my new things!!!x
